Title: Surgical laser system with remote control functionality
Inventor: HORVATH CHRISTOPHER
IPC: A61F9/008
Filed: 2007-06-22
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a laser surgical system with a basic set of functionality which is remotely controllable to implement an advanced set of functionality. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a basic laser surgical system may be coupled to an advanced control unit such that the basic laser surgical system may be controllable by the advanced control unit to implement a broader set of functionality. By moving less frequently used functionality to an advanced unit, the basic unit may be streamlined with regards to both cost and size, and the learning curve required to utilize the basic unit may be reduced relative to a more feature-ladened unit, allowing the basic unit to be utilized in myriad situations or procedures where an "all-in-one" unit would be less than desirable.

Title: Biomarkers for identifying efficacy of tegaserod in patients with chronic constipation
Inventor: MCLEAN LEEANNE
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2006-01-03
Abstract: Pharmacogenetics was used to evaluate the effect of polymorphisms in select candidate genes on the response of patients with chronic constipation to tegaserod (Zelmac~/Zelnorm~). The analysis identified twelve single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in six genes (HTR4, HTR3B, MLN, AQP3, SLC12A2, SCNN1A) that were associated with at least a 60% response rate to tegaserod and an odds ratios of 5 or greater (compared to placebo) after 4 weeks of treatment.  The identified genes display a wide range of different functions, including serotonin signaling, secretion and motility, all of which are important in maintaining the normal function of the gastrointestinal tract. Thus, these data imply that chronic constipation may result from a variety of pathophysiological mechanisms related to variants in the above identified genes, all of which respond well to treatment with tegaserod. Patients without these variants do not respond to treatment significantly more than they do to placebo, which could indicate that their chronic constipation is not due to pathophysiological mechanisms but rather to environmental or possibly psychological factors. Patients with these variants are also less likely to respond to placebo, again implying that these variants are associated with a true pathophysiology.

IPC: E01H5/04
Filed: 2007-08-27
Abstract: The left and right sideblades are hinged to the mainblade about vertical axes, and can pivot each through 180°. The sideblades are rotated by means of left and right hydraulic rotary actuators. The actuator includes a piston formed with helical splines, which drive a rotor sleeve of the actuator to rotate in a single-plane-circle when the piston is driven axially. The journal bearings in the rotary actuator are supplemented by bearings provided in a coaxial lower hinge, which are of much greater journal capacity than the bearings in the rotary actuators. The lower hinge protects the hydraulic rotary actuator from shocks due to the sideblade impacting against a kerb. A wheel-protection link blocks the sideblade from contacting the wheel of the vehicle.

Abstract: In a method for producing a cased string bore (5) extending from a well shaft (1) in the horizontal direction for the installation of a filter string, a starter drill pipe (13) and subsequently further drill pipes are driven into the rock mass (6) surrounding the well shaft through an opening (4) in the wall (2) of the well shaft (1) using a drive means (11) arranged in the well shaft. Arranged in the starter drill pipe (13) is a hydraulically driven drill motor (18) which drives in rotation a drilling tool (19) protruding from the leading end of the starter drill pipe (13) and is supported in the starter drill pipe (13) by means of a clamping device (21, 22) so as to be fixed against rotation and axial displacement, a partition sealing the starter drill pipe (13) being formed by means of the clamping device (21, 22). Pressurised water is supplied to the drilling tool (19) via a flushing pipe (29) penetrating the clamping device (21, 22) and the drillings, which are separated by the drilling tool (19), are conveyed away toward the surface through a conveying pipe (25) which opens out in the centre of the drilling tool (19) and is guided rectilinearly through the clamping device (21, 22) to the well shaft (1). On reaching the final depth of the string bore (5) the drilling tool is retracted into the starter drill pipe by axial movement of the clamping device (21, 22) and the free space between the drift face of the string bore (5) and the starter drill pipe (13) is filled and sealed by injection of a quick--setting, expanding filling compound. Afterwards the clamping device (21, 22) is disengaged and removed, together with the drill motor (18) and the drilling tool (19), from the drill pipes.
